Red Velvet Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

These are a delicious cookie, soft and chewy and the little bit of cream cheese frosting in the center, well all I can say is yum! If you don’t feel like using a pastry bag to do these a baggie with a end snipped off on the corner is a good substitute. You want a generous tablespoon of frosting to sandwich these together.
